Justice is blind, not deaf

It’s a less cohesive Damages, a less sexy Scandal. Viola Davis is acting the heck out of Annalise Keating, but the character is a cypher for whatever craziness is going on that week, without a substantive core.

That being said, there have been some amazing music choices over the last few episodes!

Sternenkinder by Klangkarussell: Putting aside why a forty-plus lawyer would suddenly decide to go to a nightclub with her twenty-something posse. Techno + Ghost and the Shell soundtrack? This is the business, and it is now on “high rotation” in my earballs.

Black Sun by Dead Can Dance: Dead Can Dance are a fairly obscure, English/Australian band formed in 1981. Their sound is a haunting combination of darkwave and traditional folk music. Lisa Gerrard, the female half of the duo, is probably best known for her work on the Gladiator soundtrack (if you ever need to get some work done, you can do worse than to psych yourself up with it). It’s lovely to see their idiosyncratic work on such a high profile show.

The show’s music supervisor for these episodes was Alexandra Patsavas. Turns out she was the music supervisor on a number of other things including The O.C, Carnivàle, all the Twilight movies and Supernatural.
